feeling of emptiness

The family car I used to drive was a normal sized hatchback, but it had quite a bit of power. It climbed hills with no problem and had decent acceleration, but it felt a little sluggish.

I am not very knowledgeable about the structure of cars, but even I felt that the high speed stability was not so good due to too much power.(in Japanese history)High-speed stability(Although the car was rated as a good)It's as if a 5 year old kid, with a tremendous rocket engine on his back, dashed 100 meters and his legs went round and round............something like that?

If it's a supercar or a sports car.It may be designed to be balanced even with a lighter body and a tremendous engine.but I wondered if it would be difficult with a regular car.

VW Golf

Then a Volkswagen Golf arrived at our house. With less horsepower and less weight than my old car, I thought, "Are you sure..." but to my surpriseAs good as the hatchback I used to drive.It feels like it has power.And the ride was comfortable.

The car is stable and stable at highway speeds, and runs smoothly on hills. There was no waste, and the car seemed to make efficient use of its current capabilities to fully demonstrate its power in terms of stability, ride comfort, acceleration, and starting on hills.

Of course, there are many other reasons, and I know it's not that simple because of different years and different makes, but a car is not necessarily better because it has more power. I thought at the time.

I feel that the balance between vehicle body and power is very important these days.
